00:00They will have a TV ad telling you, come on, do it right now, abhi.
00:04Are they telling you to gain instant nirvana?
00:06No.
00:07They are telling you to go and right now buy the most worthless product possible.
00:12That's the more general and widespread application of living in the present.
00:19Just do whatever nonsense comes to your mind.
00:21Oh yes, abhi, come on, let's do it.
00:23Whenever you have heard such words or phrases, come on, let's do it right now.
00:27Do they point at something auspicious?
00:30Do they?
00:31In fact, we are so reluctant to do the auspicious thing right now, that the saints have had
00:37to teach us that the right thing must be done instantaneously, kaal kare so aaj kar.
00:43What is it that we rather do instantaneously?
00:46All the wrong things.
00:47Living in the present must mean only nishkama karma.
00:51Living in the present must come from the right center.
00:54I am living in the present not for my gratification, but for my liberation.
00:59Living in the present can very well mean instant gratification.
01:03Can it not?
01:04Live in the present.
01:05Two minutes noodles.
01:06Make it quick.
01:07Living in the present must mean I am doing the right thing and the results are unpredictable.
01:10I don't want to think about the results.
01:12I have no space to think of the results.
01:14I am fully immersed in dharma.
01:17I am fully immersed in the right action.
01:19I am so occupied, I have no inclination, no time, no space to think what will happen
01:25tomorrow.
01:26That is the real meaning of living in the present.
